So this series was created in a very peculiar and unintentional means. I recently upgraded my phone to a samsung galaxy s3. Naturally, one backs up there photos, notes and even music before resetting their phone back to factory settings. I however, thought that all my photos got saved to my memory card regardless and thought they were safe. Wrong. A program called Recuva rescued me from my peril and indeed it was peril as there were images on there (despite their lossy jpeg format nature ) that still meant a great deal to me. Don't even get me started on those hundreds of Retro-camera (an instagram equivalent) snapshots, as I loved that Polaroid filter, as you can probably tell. Anyways, how did I end up with these? The answer is I don't know. I'm assuming it all boils down to the coding used in the recovery process that the Recuva software uses.

Yeah, yeah alright this could have been fabricated in Photoshop in a matter of seconds, but it's the randomness that is fascinating in my opinion. These where the only five images that got created in this fashion. I want to label this a "happy mistake" however find it fitting to use the term "technological error" more appropriate.

I've kept the original names that Recuva titled these images as.
